Warriors Use ‘Best Bench in NBA’ to Stay Undefeated

After winning yet another game, this time a 109-95 victory over the rugged Detroit Pistons, Golden State Warriors interim coach Luke Walton made a bold statement: “Our second unit is, we feel, the best in the NBA.” What a change from the recent past. In the season before coach Steve Kerr’s arrival, the Warriors’ second unit performed horribly, seemingly squandering a point per every breath an exhausted Stephen Curry exhaled on the bench.

To the public, the Warriors are defined by the “Splash Brothers,” a vision-blurring 3-point shooting assault on the senses and all opponents. Internally, they’re defined by a different mantra: strength in numbers.
